Goat cake

One thing about the wedding that I haven´t mentioned on here is the groom´s cake. Because Torsten reads the blog, and I didn´t want him to have a single inkling about it. But I know that there´s a tradition of having a groom´s cake alongside the tiered wedding cake--normally in the shape of something the groom loves, like the logo of his favorite sports team.

For Torsten, it had to be a goat. He loves them. He grew up near a goat farm and fed baby goats lettuce when he was little, and he has loved goats ever since. I looked around and got a bunch of insanely expensive quotes, and finally found someone who said she would do a goat silhouette for a reasonable price. I thought it was going to be two dimensional. But she went above and beyond.

I´m not sure I´ve ever laughed as hard as I did when I saw that cake. Especially when one of my bridesmaids blurted out, "Oh my god, it´s a dead goat!" Because that´s really, really what it looked like.

And it was delicious.
